Overview

• Agent Aaron Turner told ESPN that Jonathan Kuminga is prepared to accept the $7.9 million qualifying offer, which would grant unrestricted free agency next summer and inherent no‑trade protection.
• The Warriors have offered three frameworks — three years $75.2 million with a third‑year team option, two years $45 million with a second‑year team option, and three years $54 million with no options — all rejected so far.
• Turner said Kuminga would sign if the team converts the option to a player option, while Golden State has declined to include a player option in any proposal.
• Golden State has only nine players under contract, and expected veteran signings of Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton and Gary Payton II remain on hold pending resolution.
• Sacramento and Phoenix pursued Kuminga this summer, including a reported Kings package with Malik Monk and a future first, but the Warriors declined sign‑and‑trade frameworks.
